PRB: ACME Setup Problems During 16-bit Installation of VSS 4.0

• Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

General Protection Faults (GPF) may occur during the setup under the 16-bit OS installations of Visual SourceSafe 4.0.

There are two problems that may occur:

1. Installing Visual SourceSafe while attempting to give focus to another application may cause the following:

   * ACMSETUP GPF in MACH.DRV, or a GPF in KRNL386.EXE.




2. Inserting the wrong disk numerous times during a floppy disk install of Visual SourceSafe Setup may cause the following:

   * GPF in GDI.EXE, or Windows For Workgroups to hang.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, reboot and ensure that no other applications are running. Then try reinstalling SourceSafe.
